Jamie Carragher names odd one out between Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk and Salah

Jamie Carragher believes that history shows that Liverpool's supporters could turn on Trent Alexander-Arnold if he decides to leave the club.

The right-back is in the final year of his contract at Anfield and has been linked with a move to Real Madrid next summer, and will be able to negotiate with foreign clubs from January.

He is one of three star players whose futures at the club beyond next summer remain uncertain, with Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk both also out of contract.

While Carragher believes that Salah and Van Dijk would leave with Liverpool fans' blessing, he thinks Alexander-Arnold could be given a tough time if he quits Anfield.

"I think his situation at Liverpool is really interesting," Carragher said on the latest episode of the Stick to Football podcast. "You've got three players and I always feel when you're at Liverpool and you're a local player, leaving the club - not that you want to leave the club - but leaving the club is difficult.

"So you've got three players in Van Dijk, Salah, and Trent, and I think the reaction of Liverpool's supporters... say if one of them left, say Salah goes, I think most Liverpool fans would go, 'you're a legend, we got you for 40 million, look what you've done, you're amazing, go and enjoy it'. And I think it would be the same for Van Dijk. With Trent it would be different.

"If you go through it, it happened to McManaman, when he went to Madrid there was no like 'good luck, you're going to the biggest club in the world'. It was a bit like, 'who do you think you are? Going there for free'. Stevie [Gerrard] when he nearly went to Chelsea, there was a two-year period when the fans completely turned.

"Robbie [Fowler] at one stage when he was at his peak almost nearly went somewhere else. I think he (Alexander-Arnold) will be treated differently, and I think it was interesting when he came off in the first [home] game [against Brentford] and he was a little bit unhappy on the bench, even though Slot had only been there for two games, it was like 'who do you think you are?'"
